這是Factor與 JCL Team UKYO 合作推出的第二款初音未來聯名款 OSTRO VAM 車架，2024 年的 OSTRO VAM 初音未來版設計出自知名動漫畫師 Mogumo。Mogumo 是《水星的魔女》的角色設計師，而該作品是高達系列的第十五部主要作品。
日本虛擬歌手初音未來（Japanese: 初音ミク）是一位充滿創新和感召力的藝人，對許多人而言，她代表著未來之聲。初音未來是為一系列歌聲合成產品而設計的角色，通過錄製並精心處理的聲音數據，用戶可以通過輸入旋律和歌詞，創作出全新的歌曲。
JCL Team Ukyo 的 Racing Miku
作為初音未來的賽車版本，Racing Miku 每年不僅會出現在 JCL Team UKYO 的特別版單車上，也會出現在 Super GT 的賽車上。事實上，Miku 與賽車運動的結合啟發了 OSTRO VAM 上的設計。車架上的 Racing Miku 圖像以 JCL Team UKYO 的特別版形象呈現，Miku 穿著 2024 年官方賽車隊服。
2024 賽季對於 JCL Team UKYO 來說是一個非常成功的賽季。車隊由日本和義大利選手為主組成，澳大利亞選手 Nathan Earle 是唯一的非亞洲成員，車隊已經贏得了 16 場比賽。JCL Team UKYO 在日本環賽和保加利亞環賽中斬獲多個分站冠軍和總冠軍，彰顯了他們的實力和深度。在日本環賽中，Giovanni Carboni 贏得了兩個分站，包括在富士山艱險的爬坡終點取得的單人勝利。
在保加利亞環賽中，車隊在五個賽段中贏得了三個，最終 Matteo Malucelli 獲得了總冠軍。車隊還包攬了該賽事的前三名。
此外，車隊還在 Giro della Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia 的第一賽段贏得勝利，並在 PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 中多次奪冠，為這個日本隊伍的豐收年畫上了完美句號。
什麼是「初音未來」？
（piapro.net）
初音未來是一款由 Crypton Future Media 公司開發的音樂軟件，通過輸入歌詞和旋律，任何人都可以讓電腦「唱歌」。隨著大量用戶使用該軟件創作音樂並將作品發布到互聯網，初音未來迅速演變成了一種文化現象。此後，初音未來作為一個角色，涉足了許多領域，如商品銷售和虛擬歌手的現場演出，並引起了廣泛關注。現在，她的受歡迎程度已經遍及全球。
註：Kagamine Rin、Kagamine Len、Megurine Luka、MEIKO 和 KAITO 也是由 Crypton Future Media 開發的虛擬歌手。
什麼是「Racing Miku」？

Racing Miku 是初音未來的賽車版本，自 2010 年以來，她一直是初音未來 GT 計劃的專屬吉祥物。雖然官方名稱為「初音未來賽車版」，但通常被稱為「Racing Miku」。每年都由不同的插畫師設計，成為該計劃的象徵。
THE NEXT GENERATION
Harnessing aerodynamics, lightness, responsiveness and comfort in one bike is no longer a dream. Thanks to our engineers' expert carbon fiber lay-up techniques, our commitment to premium materials, and the unique control our own factory offers, the new OSTRO VAM performs in all areas. This isn't just innovation; it's a reimagining of performance on two weheels, all designed to deliver an unmatched cycling experience.
ENGINEERED FOR SPEED
The goal was to create the lightest aero-oriented bike in the pro peloton. The OSTRO VAM is a bike that can be competitive on any terrain. It is ready to win sprints, conquer cobbled classics, and summit the climbs with the best.
SUPER-THIN AERO SEATPOST
The seatpost is a slender 15mm in width, capitalizing on the latest UCI rules. Its profile is the result of an intensive study of its interaction with the chaotic airflow from the rider’s legs and a tireless R&D process. First, incremental iterations were sim tested, then rapid prototypes of the best shapes were wind tunnel tested to arrive at the best performing. The thin new seatpost is made possible by relocating the Shimano Di2 battery housing inside the seat-tube and mounted from behind the bottom bracket. This has the added benefit of avoiding seatpost removal for battery access, which reduces the risk mis-adjustment leading to incorrect height, slippage or damage from over-tightening.
ULTRALIGHT SEATPOST CLAMP
The new pusher-type seatpost clamp is repositioned at the rear of the seat-tube where it distributes force over a large area to give a very secure fixation with a low torque, allowing a very lightweight clamp, a dramatic reduction in seat-tube width. This design has now moved the battery housing into the bottom bracket being more accessible and convenient.
CERAMICSPEED T47A BB
The T47 standard for threaded bottom brackets ensures a secure fit, easy maintenance, and contributes to exceptional power transfer. Fast-spinning Ceramicspeed bearings ensure ultimate efficiency.
REVISED RIDER POSITIONING
In response to analysis of customer and pro athlete position data, two key changes have been made. First, a 45cm frame has been added to the range. Second, the seat-tube angle is 0.5º steeper.
FASTER. EVER FASTER.
Everything we know about blazingly fast bikes was merely the starting point. Using the latest computer modelling tools, the new Ostro VAM unlocks aero performance gains that had been unthinkable.
Compared to the outgoing model, after 40km, the new Ostro VAM is a dot in the distance. Compared to its rivals, it’s way out of sight. We focused on refining the front of the bike, where we could influence the airflow the most. Using a Rapid Iterative Design process, we ran simulations on dozens of head tube profiles, considering every transition and surface on the frameset. The result is a true airfoil-type profile along the waterline of the frame. Further wind tunnel testing verified that the new Ostro VAM outperforms the market.
MASTERS OF CARBON
The new OSTRO VAM is a sub-7kg aero weapon, so your crit bike is also your mountainous grand fondo bike and they’re both awesome. This lightness also means that the pros can use their most aero option more of the time (and for big mountain stages with summit finishes, we make the feathery and fast O2 VAM). What’s more, the uprated stiffness level is mighty, unflinching in the face of even WorldTour watt bombs. Aerodynamics, lightness and stiffness used to be sworn enemies, impossible to bring together. Now we have more of all three in one bike than ever and it’s thanks to our engineers’ tireless work to iterate the carbon fiber lay-up, our investment in top grade materials, and owning our factory which lets us do things the hard way in pursuit of the perfect ride.
CONFIDENCE BUILT IN
We can measure and test many things, but not the level of confidence that a bike gives you. It’s a feeling. Building it into a bike is where art meets science, and where our design team’s decades of engineering combine with their decades of riding. The perfectly balanced handling geometry of the new OSTRO VAM – combining cat-like agility with unflappable high-speed stability and on-rails cornering – is carried over from its predecessor, which was loved by pros, customers, and reviewers alike. Greater compliance adds to both the feeling of confidence and comfort over long rides.
